Sagacity of the Coyote.

1t is during the weeks going Just be-
fore and following Immediately after
the birth of the puppies that the old
dog-coyotes work their hardest and
most Systematically. In hunting at this
time, our wolf adds 10 his ordinary per-
tinacity and zeal. the sagacity and en-
durance necessary to turn his victims
and drive them back to his home,
knowing that otherwise his mate and
her weaklings will be unable to partake
of the feast.
\ remarkable picture of this was
given some years ago, by writer in
an English magazine, who, in one of
the best animal chapters" it has ever
been my fortune 10 read, detailed such
chase as witnessed by him in the
grand forests near Lake Nicaragua.
Certainly" be exclaims at the con-
clusion OF his account, certainly no
training could have bettered tnat dogs
run. To drive a grown buck back to
his starling-place, to send on a portion
OF the pack TO that point where he would
strive 10 break cover. to head him again
and again into the cover where his
speed could not be exerted to the full,
were feats which might well puzzle all
the best dogs in England, and the
human intelligence which directs them. y
His game and its getting are not
always SO noble as this, however, and
the coyote knows well the pinch of
famine, especially in winter. The
main object of his life seems to be the
satisfying of a hunger which is always
craving; and to this aim all his cunning,
impadence, and audacity are mainly
directed Nothing comes amiss.
Though by no means the swiftest-footed
quadruped upon the plains. he runs
down the deer, the prong-horn. and
others, firing them out by trickery. and
then overpowering them by force of
numbers. The buffalo formerly afforded
him an unfailing supply, in the shape

success followed a system of tireless
worrying. The poor bison or elk. upon
which they concentrated, might trample

Tree Planting on the Plains.

In no portion OF the country is tree
planting more generally practised than
in those States which lie between the
Mississippi River and the Rocky Noun
tains. The prairie settlers found bat
little timber. and that confined TO the
borders OF the streams. They began 10
plant trees. first apparently for protec-
ton against the strong winds, and
afterwards for fuel and other purposes.
In most cases the Western Cottonwood
for shelter belts, while Willows are to
be seen in many places. Although much
has been said by writers on forestry
against the Cottonwood, yet | regard it
as one Of the best of the pioneer trees.
As has been shown by experience, it
will thrive upon the open plain, when
many better tree would make but lit
tie growth, or die outright. Its quick
growth enables the settler TO supply
himself in a short time with fuel, not
the best by any means, but still a fuel
worth the having.
But the day of the Cottonwood is
short. 1t is like the human pioneer; its
work is soon done, and then it must
give place to better growth. After the
Cottonwood has shaded the ground,
and kept the winds from sweeping the
surface, the Maple, the Walnut. the
Catalpa and the Ash find no difficulty
in obtaining a foothold. Often, indeed,
the Silver Maple (Acer daSyca1pUn)
and the Box Elder (NeguHao acerotde),
are planted successfully almost as soon
as the Cottonwood. and serve, like it, 10
furnish fuel, and to prepare the soil for
other trees. Eventually. the Walnut,
Elm, Ash and Cataipa are the species to
be most abundan,ly planted for fuel and
for timber. The Hard Maple (Acer
S0cchariHunl). must wait until the so

Hereditary COrns.

sIf oouna- hv nafr1ra lilo q

What is the cause of cOrnS?"
at comes by nature, like a wart or
any other pimple. No greater mistake
was ever made than to say tight shoes
caused corns, but when the corn is form
ed the pressure of the shoe causes the
pin. You can bet it never produces
that nuisance of the foot, and my rea-
son for SO saying is that in my practice

to me for treatment. Now. it is not
natural to suppose that child of tender
years is toOt-Clad with shoes so tight as
to produce corns. With them. as with
older persons, nature is the originator,
providing cornS are not hereditary, as
consumption and kindred diseases are
in some families"
You don't mean TO say that corns
can be handed down from sire to son?"
Il most certainly do say they can be
reproduced like bad temper. good
disposition, or any special feature of
the face; and why not? If a son or
daughter has a long or short nose like
either of their parents, why can't they
have cOrns like their ma or pa has? Is
not this idea suggestive and reasona-
bic? 1t is an old maxim with students
that like begets like. and the offspring
would not be clear image of The par

may be said that corns are cut and often
eradicated. That may be true, though

Will admit the assertion. What are we
to say about boils, scurvy, and all other
ills flesh is heir to? Is il not often the

were being marched from the steamboat
wharf to the Old Capitol prison toward
the close of the war they gazed at a

with great interest. Finally the pigan-

rected by his keeper, a young man
mounted on horseback. "Hil, ex-

q Novel Musical Instrument.

Two Spanish naval officers were play
ing a duet in the cool inner room of a
piano wareroom of Fifth avenue, New
Y ork, recently. A group of musicians,
critics and employees of the company
were sitting or standing around attten-
lively listening. One of the dark-beard-
ed performers was playing an accom-
paniment for the other, who held to his
mouth an instrument so small as to be
entirely concealed by his fingers; vet
the notes OF ''La Paloma," that sensu-
Gus fetching Mexican air, rang out i'll
tones like piccolo's, yet so strong as
to seem as if they came from a calliope.
When the air was finished, the infant
flute was submitted for inspection. 1t
was a section of reed, very like those
which are used for pipe stems, having
three small holes beside the blow hole
1t was not three inches long; yet from
this scrap of perforated reed over two
octaves of notes had been elicted with
strength that made the air palpitate,
and the most rapid runs had been exc
cuted- 1t is new instrument called
the reed flute and is quite a curiosity.
For its size, it is the biggest instrument
on earth.

Where Diamonds are Polished

one of the great industries of Amster.
dam Is the cutting and polishing of dia-
mOnds; and nearly all the finest dia-
mOnds IN the world are brought here to
be cut into shape. We will make a
visit 70 one of the principal diamond es-
adjustments, and when we get there
think we shall be surprised TO find a
great factory, four or five stories high,
a steam-engile in the basement, and fly
wheels, and leathern bands, and all sorts
of whIrriug machinery in the different
stories. On the very top floor the dia-
mouds are finished and polished, and
here we see sklllful workman sitting
before rapidly revolving disks of S.eel,
against which the diamonds are pressed
and polished. IL requires great skill,
time, and patience before one of these
valuable gems is got into that shape in
which It will best shine. sparkle, and
show its purity. Nearly half the dia-
mondS produced in the world, the best
of which come from Brazil, are sent to
this factory TO be cut and polished.
Here the great koh-I-noor was cut; and
we are shown models of that and of
other famous diamonds that were cut
in these rooms.

The Bursting Force Of u BOiler-Few
people conceive how powerful is the
force imprisoned in the interior of
steam boiler when In active operation.
The steam gauge shows a pressure OF
perhaps 100 pounds per square inch,
and the uninitiated spectator who
works or walks carelessly beside the
apparatus, may imagine that 100 pounds
represents the force with which its
fragments would be propelled in case
or an explosion But the whole force
Of the live steam in boiler Is equIva-
lent to the area or the entire internal
surface of the boiler multiplied by the
pressure per square inch. Suppose, for
example,, the internal length of the
boiler Is 2i0 inches and its diameter
sixty-siK inches, and that the steam
gauge shows pressure of 100 pounds.
A mathematical calculation shows that
the total internal area or the boiler Is
36,6 square inches, and hence the
imprisoned agent is not 100 pounds,
but 36.6U5x100 pounds, or $500, 500
pounds Think or that the next time
you hear of the employment of an in
competent engineer to handle a boiler
whose explosion is liable to send half ?
dozen men to eternity.
